 | Thursday, July 7th, 2011: López Too Tough, Blanks Burlington
Cristián López effectively shut down the Bees today, blanking them 10-0 on 5 hits, ringing up 6 strikeouts and allowing 2 walks. The Lumberkings pitcher appeared to get stronger as the game went on.
"I don't know if I was getting any stronger," López said after the game, "I feel like my mechanics were getting better. I was able to make some adjustments and get a little more comfortable out there."
The Bees skipper said, "We had some opportunities, but weren't able to execute. We just didn't swing the bats very well today."
